Friend’s GF Laughs Off Near-Death Bear Encounter

Imagine going on a camping trip with friends, only for it to turn into a near-death experience because someone ignored your advice on bear safety! That’s exactly what happened to a group of friends on their annual camping and fishing trip. The protagonist’s friend, Alex, brought his girlfriend along, who wasn’t very outdoorsy and had a tendency to be absent-minded. Despite being warned about bear encounters, she didn’t take it seriously – and the consequences were almost deadly!
